Great location. Close to Paddington Station with trains and Underground. Staff, Oumaima and Johanes, were very helpful at 12am when I lost my cellphone. Room was clean and comfortable. Enjoyed having a kettle to make tea or coffee in the morning. Was easy to get to Heathrow Airport from Paddington Station. Would highly recommend this hotel. Judy from Canada

First of all, communication can be done through WhatsApp once checked in, which is an introvert's dream come true, not having to speak with anyone. The hotel is conveniently located near Paddington Station. There are places to eat within a short walk of the hotel. Daily house cleaning available and free water on request. The only thing I did seem impractical was that the showers and sink was in one room and the toilet was in another room, it was odd. Staff was lovely and helpful

a great place to stay. close to paddington station and very easy to get to once you kinda have a lay of the land. lots of stuff for tourists and locals alike. about a 15 minute walk to hyde park. there were 3 of us and we stayed for 5 nights. one queen bed for me and my husband and a sofa bed for my sister. the front desk staff was so welcoming and helpful. the restaurant staff was very attentive. and the cleaning people! they went above and beyond to make us comfortable! they anticipated our needs and seemed to learn the way we slept (my husband needs two blankets, i need one, my sister needed extra pillows). we went on a day trip to paris and came back to our room immaculately set up the way we liked and they gave us extra peppermint tea! major shout out to them! if i had a gripe it would only be that the room itself could use a little upkeep. there were old stains on the carpet, a little mold in the shower and a little piece of the shower nozzle kept falling off but nothing that would keep us from coming back for another trip.

Amazing hotel!

Charles was extremely helpful with our check-in! He gave us much needed information on the area as well as tips for traveling to the airport by train. He also gave us information about a restaurant we had heard about in the area. Ironically, we went to the restaurant for lunch, but ate at the hotel restaurant for dinner and we LOVED it! Great food - the chef obviously knows what he's doing! We'd eat there even if it was located in our home town. Added bonus - they even had a workbook titled "Sleep" to help travelers with issues affecting their sleep hygiene. This is a workbook that I would pay for, no doubt! We wish there was a Novotel everywhere we travel!

Great hotel. Stay every time we got to London. Convenient for onward travel & sightseeing but not as noisy with being away from many roads. It's being renovated at the moment so not all rooms done, but still comfortable. The bar/restaurant area is lovely. Breakfast was a full range of hot & cold foods & drinks. Swimming pools, sauna & steam room was great to use after a day of walking around the city. Staff are very friendly, helpful & professional. Always ready to answer any questions.
